As Big Bee and the wise old fisherman hauled the Magikarp in, inch by inch, hand over hand, Bergamot Gristleborg came floating by over the surface of the sea. Her Piplup flapped its flippers desperately, struggling to bear Morgana's weight as they drifted down towards the waves. "Ha-ha!" Barely skimming the surface, Bergamot floated down and scooped up the exhausted Magikarp in her net. It flopped sadly inside, too worn out from its battle with Taka and the Fishing Rod to fight back. "Tis like taking candy from a-- what?! What's happening?"The jerk from the fishing line still connected to the Pokémon yanked her forwards. Guillotine did her best, but the combined weight of Morgana and a Magikarp and two people hauling on the other end was more than she could take. Morgana gave up and allowed herself to be reeled in by Big Bee, managing to land neatly on the edge of the dock. She put out one hand flat and her worn-out Piplup settled on top of it, looking exhausted. "Oh, was this Magikarp yours?" she asked innocently, tossing her hair. She seemed to be struggling to hold her Piplup on the top of one hand for some reason, but managed to continue her monologue. "I had no idea. It seemed so weak and common, I could hardly pass it up! But I suppose I have no need for it."
With the smug, pitying air of a person who clearly thought they were doing someone a big favor, she offered Big Bee the orange-ringed Magikarp, now laying docilely in its net. "Well, adieu!"Guillotine was too tired to float her away for a dramatic exit, so Morgana sauntered off down the dock instead. Like a criminal's calling card, a FRIEND REQUEST would pop up in Big Bee's notifications a short time later.

As the intrepid exterminators ascended to the next level of the Tower, someone else was also ascending. From outside. "Out of my way, peons and Patrats!" issued an imperious order as Bergamot Gristleborg appeared at long last, floating in like a mermaid through a large, open window. She was holding onto her Piplup's feet with one hand like Mary Poppins' umbrella, the little penguin's face screwed up as it struggled to "fly" her all the way up the Tower with her limited Swimmer ability. It was less like flying and more like towing an adult woman back to the surface from the bottom of the sea. The "water" animation ceased, and the woman's flowing hair and skirts settled as she and Guillotine touched down on the motor-oil-soaked floor. "What a mess you've found yourselves in," she spoke smugly. "Oh well, I suppose it can't be helped. We'll help you out this time."She threw out a white-gloved hand dramatically. Guillotine, who was collapsed on the floor, stirred feebly. Bergamot waited with the utmost patience while the water-type recovered, then resumed her dramatic pose. "Bubble," she commanded, and the Piplup filled the air obediently with bubbles. "...BEAM!" Bergamot finished, snapping her fingers. Oops. While shining spheres drifted through the room, bursting with pops of compressed power, Guillotine opened her beak and let a stream of finely-focused water globes, trying to knock down the Patrat amassing in the rafters. She saw at least one fly backwards into the darkness, dropping the lit match it had been holding. Morgana's eyes stretched wide, reflecting the tiny flame as it fell. PIPLUP USED BUBBLE (40 POWER) AND BUBBLEBEAM (65 POWER)

"Ohohoho!" Bergamot laughed contemptuously behind her hand. She didn't miss a beat--in fact, she practically beamed at the sight of the other player. Sarah Lee may have been the Kindler, but Bergamot Gristleborg was the one burning with confidence. "You'd like to think that, wouldn't you?"But what had she said about blood? Morgana hadn't noticed she'd been kicking a bloody log. She'd assumed it was an ordinary log, perhaps moss or slime-covered as such outdoor jungle things naturally were. She looked around for a moment, then threw out a hand. "Feast your eyes," she said, eyes lighting up at the unexpected development. They were so well-disguised among the jungle plants that Morgana almost missed it-- a pair of bulbous blue Oddish, rolling a third into a hole in the ground. It was this third Pokémon whose body oozed with virulent green sap, which burned with the acrid stench of wasabi. She had been watching Sarah Lee's reaction out of the corner of her eye. "What do you think?" Morgana asked softly, suddenly much closer to Sarah Lee than the other girl might have realized. Her breath tickled against the Kindler's ear. "Are you going to help them?" It seemed, against all odds, like a test.

Bergamot Gristleborg, keeper of the deep secrets of our world and also riddles, ghosted through the jungle with the grace of a panther, the mystery of mystery meat, and the beauty of a Caucasian Cleopatra. That's what she liked to think, anyway. In reality, she was just digging around trying to find something in this game to ruin, or at least use against her enemies. She didn't have any enemies yet, but she was determined to make a lot of them. You didn't become the ultimate supervillain of the Pokémon World by making friends. "Mwahaha..."Morgana laughed to herself as she came across a fallen tree, making a game out of stepping agilely over the side of it. "You'll regret crossing me," she sing-songed, "Because not only am I already crossing you, you're already dead."It was nice to be an only child. She'd never needed company to have fun playing, all by herself. She crossed the log smugly to prove her point, then kicked it triumphantly. Chunks of rotting wood flew in all directions as she speared the heel of her ridiculous stilettos in it. Nothing was happening. Not yet. QUEST PROMPT: [prompt]MG_wYiA81-100 1-100

"Ugh!" She looked down her nose at the groveling, grateful man. "It was merely a common Piplup, unlike my magnificent Guillotine." She grabbed up Guillotine and aggressively stroked the penguin's head, like a rich person with a purebred persian cat. Bizzarely, the young woman held out the Pokeball with her pilfered catch to Manish a moment later. "I only caught it to teach you a lesson," she said loftily, "I have no use for Piplups, as I already have the most superior one." She opened her arms suddenly, releasing Guillotine like someone releasing a cat by just dropping them. Unlike a cat, however, the Piplup drifted vertically into the air, kicking its back feet like it was swimming. "Ohohoho! See now?" Bergamot said smugly as the baby penguin orbited her head, not explaining what Manish was supposed to be seeing. She jumped down from the side of the tidepool and made a big deal of standing to the side, leaving the way clear for the other player to pass. "I planned to battle you and steal all your Pokemon," she said, clearly a little perturbed, "But since your Bulbasaur is fainted, I shan't stand in your way." She gestured blithely up the beach. "The Shrine isn't far from here. Go in peace...for now. O-ho-ho-ho!""We will meet again! And you will rue the day!" she called after him, laughing menacingly. A minute later, a Friend Request from Bergamot Gristleborg would appear in Manish's inbox.

"O-ho-ho-ho-ho!"A high, arrogant laugh rang out, startling flocks of aesthetic Wingull from the beachside palms. The camera panned away from Manish and his fainted Bulbasaur, away from the wild Piplup, up, up, up to a smug-looking young woman poised on the edge of the tidepool as if it were a gold medalist podium. She threw out a white-gloved hand. "Prepare for trouble!" she cried out in challenge. There was an awkward pause as she snapped her fingers repeatedly. Another Piplup sidled out from behind her. "Pipplup luplup!""To protect the world from deforestation!" "Piplup luplup piplup?""...No, I'm sure that was right. Anyway," the girl said, tilting her chin back to gaze down on Manish as if from an even higher elevation, "It looks like you're washed up, trainer. Now, whatever will happen to this sweet little Piplup you've failed to capture..." She caressed the Golden Pokeball which had appeared in her hand. "Why, it would have to be a most wicked and dastardly villainess to steal a catch when you're down, but!" She sighed, dramatically, and held a hand to her heart. "...that is a burden I, Bergamot Gristleborg , will bear. Guillotine!"She clapped twice, and the Piplup at her side jumped to attention. "Pound, at once!"One flipper glowing, the girl's Piplup leapt forward with a swift chop, aiming to knock the pre-weakened wild Pokemon out with a swift blow to the neck. GUILLOTINE USED POUND!

PLAYER: Chryssa Glasgow | CHARACTER: Bergamot Gristleborg | | | PRONOUNS: She/Her AGE: Twenty ORIENTATION: Panromantic LOCATION: Anchorage, Alaska OCCUPATION: Violinist, Voice Actor | GENDER: <F> AGE: Adult ENABLE PKMN SPEECH? No > Yes PAIN THRESHOLD: Realistic TRAINER CLASS: Swimmer |
OUT OF THE GAME Chryssa has been wheelchair-bound since she was eleven years old, when a rare genetic disease caused complications which made her unable to walk. She is prone to seizures, hence why her father does not support her VR gaming habit for fear that she (or others) will be unable to respond to an attack in time. She seldom leaves her father's house except for hospital or library visits, except for the occasional violin concert (an old hobby she's gotten back into). Since turning twenty, she has gotten into voice acting, and now works online for an agency based out of the community theater.
Chryssa was able to obtain the WorldScreen by secretly contacting her uncle and convincing him "they could play together" if he bought her one and sent it as a secret Christmas gift without her father's knowledge. She proceeded to not play with her uncle and instead play all by herself for the entirety of Season 1.
It would not be a stretch to say Chryssa has a fascination with death and leaving a legacy of some kind behind her in case of what she views as "the inevitable." While the condition that affects her legs is not fatal, her father's overprotectiveness of her has convinced her that she is fragile, and that any strain or risk-taking might be her last. Notably, this has not stopped her in the least.
Even in real life, Chryssa is ridiculous and fantastical. She's confident, charismatic, and utterly inflexible when it comes to changing her mind about something once it's been set. She tells tall tales, makes up stories without blinking an eye, and paints reality like a sweeping, epic storybook. Perhaps it's because she's bored. Perhaps it's because her actual reality is too terrible to accept.
| INSIDE THE GAMEJoyful, mischievous, and the perfect villain (if by 'perfect' you mean 'wannabe'), Bergamot plays a purely support role on UNOVR (Chryssa believes this is actually a method of sabotage.) She is determined to get Pokemon, but typically refuses to do so legally and falls back on nagging everyone into "letting her steal their Pokemon" instead. She's smug, hyperconfident, and seems to have no concept of having ever "lost" anything no matter how many times she does.
Despite constantly declaring people her rivals, Bergamot shows no spirit of competition and seems to have no interest in anything that she can't twist to be annoying. That said, Bergamot shows remarkable ingenuity in the game, often finding aspects that more seasoned players have overlooked and abusing them for attention.
Recently, Bergamot feels like she is starting to lose some of her villainous oomph, and finds herself struggling to be as silly and carefree as she was in previous seasons. After connecting with her uncle and acknowledging her dependence on the game world, Chryssa's violence and intensity is more likely to bleed through at unexpected moments. | FACE CLAIMS Himari Takakura from Mawaru Penguindrum Katarina Claes from My Next Life as a Villainess!
